WITH the best horse flesh in the
Union, bred here under our own skies
and fed upon the grasses of our own
soil and with the most charming
climate highly provocative Of outdoor
life in all its phases, foremost amongst
which is that of driving, yet 80 execra-
BILE are our roads that this exhilerat4
ing pleasure can be indulged in only
at the risk not merely of buggy
springs and horses legs, but even of
the drivers necks. The cry for
good roads in this county is akin to
that of the Saints described in the
Apocalypse as not resting but having
troubled dream beneath the altar.
Shall We now at last find
"Surcease of sorrow" in
this regard and see roads built
on which animal, vehicle and driver
shall not be a certain prey to the lurk7
ing chuck-hole, insidiously filled with
dust, or the terrible baranca, cut three
feet deep with the last big shower; !;
and on which the drivers clothes shall
not be spoiled and his lungs choked
with cloud OF dust so thick it might
be preserved in chunks? 1t is hoped
We shall. The county assessment is
something prodigious in its length and
breadth. The valuation is built up in
solid pile until it reaches over eighty
millions. The levy for roads is the
largest in the hundred dollars ever
made. Twenty-Five cents in each hum
dred Of the valuation, leaving out the
property within the limits of corpor-
ate cities, will give our county
Board OF Supervisors snug sum
ranging from 100000 to $125 900 to
spend on the roads. Ii properly
spent this money should give us few
good pieces Of road in the county. 1t
goes without saying that the proper
way to spend it will not be in going
all over the county stirring the dust
up in summer, and padding in the
mud in winter. Let some piece OF
road through the most populous por-
ton of the county be selected, and let
the bulk of this sum be expended in
making a really good bit of road
through this. The sum Of $100,00O

Dyi,g Cattle.


II is reported from Montana and
western dakota that the -helterless
cattle on the plains are dying 10y the
hundred. They are freezing to death
aud starving to death. 1t has too
long been the boast OF the upper graz
ing country that tame cattle could
rustic all winter like native bison. and
come out tat in the spring. The claim
may properly be made with respect TO
certain favored localities; but no
ranchman in the Northwest ought to
take the risk OF keeping cattle through
the winter Without any provision OF
hay or shelter for them in ease OF
severe storms.
Ii ranrnnen prefer to take tlie risk
as n financial proposi ion, there is II
moral side OF the subject which has
been too much neglected and which
calls for Il vigorous exercise OF public
opinion. Ii il simply brutal to driv,
cattle from southern breeding grounds
or shin calves from the farming
states ana expose them to starvation
or death from excessive cold on TIA,
northern plains. The farmer who
would permit domestic animals to tlt
from exposure in Illinois or Iowa oI
Minnesota would he made to feel th,
force OF his neighbors' Indignation
alter the moral bear
ings somewhat, perhaps, but there ar,
no circumstances which justify th,
sacrifice of animal lie which seyer,
Montana winter entails.
The development of the Northwest
ein cattle indussry has orr fullest
approval. Bat it shoiild rc.,t upon =
permanent, ie-iiiniat" basis. II In
